On Sept. 14, DeKalb Middle School Football had their first home game of the season. Coach Roberts said that, “They ended up winning. They had some big plays throughout the game, some forced fumbles. [But,] they were really good.”

The end score was as impressive 47-16. “We messed up a little bit, and we can fix a few things but overall did pretty good. Our best moment was when we played defense,” says Eli Wagner.
